Hi, just wanted to pop in I don’t know if this is reassurance providing but just wanted to say not all schizophrenics are screaming at walls and ‘crazy’ My boyfriend is a diagnosed schizophrenia pretty sure he has been his whole life and while he does see things he is easily able to identify it as his illness and disregard it, while it’s tough and definitely not easy and it does get worse when he goes through a traumatic experience. My point is, (and I’m not coming for you, mental illness in general can be scary and I know it’s your ocd you can’t help it) I notice there’s a large stigma around schizophrenia that each schizophrenic is off the wall, talking to things that aren’t there. So, that being said even if you were schizophrenic or became one (highly doubt) it’s not always how a lot of people perceive it.

I have the same fear... I know I won't become one but just the thought of it makes me dizzy and my anxiety goes all the way up .

No no, I’m not offended! I just wanted to put some information out there. You’re not in the wrong I totally get the irrational fear I have ocd too so I understand I just wanted to say even if that did happen (again highly unlikely) it’s not always as bad as it seems. I in no way was scolding you, you can’t help your ocd.

im sorry i didn’t know that, you’re right there is a stigma around it as there is around most mental illnesses. my apologies if i offended you i often forget sometimes my obsessions that i’m afraid of are sometimes people’s actual lives (aka fear of becoming schizophrenic or being gay etc) i don’t mean to sound so insensitive or anything like that. the irrationality of my thoughts often takes over . thanks for educating me on that though i didn’t know, sending love and positivity to u and ur boyfriend:)

ocd or phycosis?
idk why this is such a recurrent thing for me , I get so scared through the day when I’m not distracted when I think about psychosis. or being put in a mental hospital that it gives me bad anxiety, one time I had a panic attack at the thought of having it 💔 I can’t pin point if it’s intrusive thoughts because it’s a fear of mine .. or not. I think this is the worst thought / fear I have

Fear of physcosis
I’m constantly having fears of getting psychosis like I’ve been thinking I want to get closer to God but my brain is like what if I end up in religious physcosis or what if I drive myself into physcosis from my intrusive thoughts or what if I’m already in it.

I don’t want to be schizophrenic
I think I do have schizophrenia honestly it explains why I feel like people can look at me through my window in which I had to put dark curtains and even with the dark curtains, I feel like people can still see me through the window and through the window bathroom even though the window is frosted or texture looking and even when I walk around the living room, I have to close the curtains because I feel like I’m doing something inappropriate and kids are staring at me sometimes I forget how to speak and my words are disorganized I feel like people plan stuff to kill me or the men in the street have r worded me sometimes I’m convinced my 8 year old brother is planning stuff or taking pictures of me or has done something to me in my sleep then feeling like I hear whispering When u was in high school I use to cry because people stared at me all the time omg it’s all making sense
